Day 16: Salvation
Scripture:
Therefore, if anyone is united with the Anointed One, that person is a new creation. The old life is gone—and see—a new life has begun! All of this is a gift from our Creator God, who has pursued us and brought us into a restored and healthy relationship with Him through the Anointed. And He has given us the same mission, the ministry of reconciliation, to bring others back to Him.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (The Voice)
Prayer:
To the God who makes all things new.
Each day.
Each moment.
An opportunity to start anew.
To live out of the extreme love You have shown just a little bit better.
Walk with me, Spirit of God.
In the messy process of the old that is passing away and the new that is coming.
That my restored relationship with You may be the source of my own reconciliatory work.
That those who know me would say, “what is this new life and who is this Creator?”
Come, Lord Jesus, Come.
Reflection:
How will Jesus show up in my day today?
Do I have the eyes and ears to see and hear the wonders of his love and mercy?
How will I experience his grace? Will I see something miraculous? Something hope-filled that will transform me?
